Paragon, one of the UK’s leading providers of advanced cleaning products and solutions, has been awarded Gold status by Ecovadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings and Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) compliance solutions.
This recognition places Paragon in the top 5% of companies assessed globally, reflecting outstanding performance across four key areas: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The business also ranks in the 98th percentile worldwide, and within the top 1% of companies in its industry sector.
In just two years, Paragon has progressed from no formal rating to achieving Bronze in 2024 – and now Gold in 2025 – a clear reflection of its ambition and a testament to the company’s rapid progress and deep-rooted commitment to responsible business practices.
Jorden Clay, Group General Manager at Paragon, said:
“Achieving Ecovadis Gold is a proud moment for Paragon and a clear signal of the direction we’re heading as a business. Sustainability is no longer a bolt-on; it’s built into how we operate, how we make decisions, and how we support our customers.
“This award recognises the ambition and dedication of our team, whose efforts have helped us raise our standards, challenge ourselves, and do things the right way.”
The Ecovadis assessment is increasingly recognised by customers, procurement teams and regulators as a trusted benchmark for sustainability performance.
Gold status strengthens Paragon’s position as a responsible, reliable supplier to the transport, industrial, facilities, and public sectors – and follows the company’s recent expansion into a new state-of-the-art facility at Broombank Road in Chesterfield, designed to improve operational efficiency and support sustainable growth.
